City Chicks 4 Charity hosted their very first event at Discovery Wines on Avenue A and First Street. We had an abundance of food including cheese plates, a delicious spinach dip (thanks Reesh!) and lots more yummyness to pair with our wines.

We began with a delectable Cristalino Cava Prosecco, which we loved (and asked for more)! We then moved onto a Chateau Laulerie which was another fan favorite. It is made of sauvignon blanc and semillon, and displays ripe citrus fruit with grassy notes. We also tasted some reds and the Montepulicano was a big hit. It was great to see new faces and to spread the word about CC4C.

Once we all had a few glasses, it was time for the raffle. Alicia designed a gift basket filled with beauty samples and other goodies. Kristen channeled Vanna White by choosing a business card from the jar. After the winner was crowned, it was back to more tasting and the conclusion of our first triumphant event!

The money we raised is being donated to the Mirwais School Fund, benefiting Afghan Girls scarred by acid to keep them home and uneducated. We’re hoping our donation makes a difference.

We’d like to thank Discovery Wines for hosting this amazing event. Thanks to Scott, Nicole and Tim for all the great wine and cheese! We must also give a shout out to Nolan, from Crumbs Bakery, who attended and provided the amazing mini cupcakes for dessert.

We hope to see you at our next event!!
